    This game is super! The graphics for 2020 are not very good, but what did you want from the 1998 game? Cool gameplay, ADVENTURE! MORE ADVENTURES!

    The greatest game of all time, as simple as that.

    Anyone who gives the masterpiece below a 7 or an 8 is either just here to hate on the astounding zelda franchise, doesn't know a DAMN good game or is insane. The dungeons are interesting and unique, the characters are interesting and have personality, the story is highly engaging, the combat is varied, fluid, and fun, the items are    The greatest game of all time, as simple as that.

The only real downside is that the game is somewhat linear and you can't continue on after beating the final boss, but that doesn't detract from the huge amount of fun I had playing this game.    … Expand

Es kam von 1998 und da waren banjo und spyro nicht besser von der Grafik und spielmeschanik. Die Leute die sagen das das Spiel schlecht ist haben wahrscheinlich das Spiel nur 10 min gespielt und sich von anderen eine Meinung geholt das das Spiel scheiße sei. Also gut ihr Menschen die das Zelda schlecht finden sollen ruhig weiter die noch schlechteren Zelda spiele spielen wie links awekening das ja noch eine schlechtere Grafik hat und 2d ist was nicht schwierig umzusetzen ist und die Leute die sagen die sagen die Reihe ist kacke sollen weiter fortnite spielen und call of duty spielen. Weil diese spiele bleiben einem nicht für immer im Kopf weil es nur darum geht anderen abzuballern und zu töten wobei die zelda Reihe eine Verbindung zu einem Spieler aufbaut und weil man sich gut an der Reihe erinnern kann. Ich finde die Mario und Zelda Reihe sind die besten Spiele reihen die es jemals gab und geben wird. Das Spiel bekommt voll kommen zurecht eine 10/10, ein Meisterwek. Love for Zelda and Mario.

I have always been a big fantasy fan and I must say as soon as I started I was hooked. I had played many fantasy games before, such as Skyrim and all of that but man was this different. The game gives some of the greatest dungeon mechanics ever created. Every region in the continent of Hyrule introduces you to a whole new realm filled with new races, enemies, and object/supplies. Every dungeon/temple is filled with complex and very interesting puzzles. Every level has some new item that you need to get to the end, and must of the time you will need it later in your adventures. Many secrets lie hidden right before you across the fields of Hyrule, some with fantastic rewards. The narrative is compelling- it is what really got the Zelda timeline rolling. The bosses are fantastic, some are slightly easier than others but overall they are very different from one another and are very enjoyable to fight. This was the first 3d Zelda game and one of the first 3d games in the world. If this game wasn't a sucess neither would the whole gaming industry, I don't care if you compare Zelda to dog turd, its the reason you're having a good time on your nintendo. And hey-THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU MEET GANONDORF- this is the greatest and shall always be my favorite video game to ever exist… Expand

A lot of modern games has took a lot from this game! “Anyone who makes 3-D games who says they've not borrowed something from Mario or Zelda is lying,” Rockstar cofounder Dan Houser said in 2012. The Dungeons are one of the best. Puzzles are really creative and fun. Gameplay is still awesome today and this game aged amazing. Story is also good I don't understand why people thinks story is bad? There are def better story games but Zelda games were never about story. İt was always about that amazing gameplay, level design, atmosphere, music and more! But story is still great imo. So much iconic scenes and it feels like a movie that a character goes to an adventure. As I said this game does an amazing job with atmosphere and making an alive world with gameplay instead of long cutscenes! Open world was insane for 1998! Today it maybe small but it still does an amazing job with making you free and has an exploring feeling! Music is also one of the best things that the Zelda series does.

    A masterpiece. It has one of the greatest if not the best soundtrack of videogame history, and despite it was released in 1998, it is considerably better than any release in the present. Its controlls might be frustrating because of the N64 controller, but that is just a tiny problem that can easily be fixed buying a custom controller or the 3ds remake.

    Ocarina of Time might just be one of the most overrated games of all time, but by god if I didn't love almost every minute I spent with this game.

    Ocarina of Time is the 4th entry in the long running Legend of Zelda series and if you play any Zelda game in your lifetime, it should probably be this one. I must admit this isn't my favourite Zelda game, but it's certainly up there. For    Ocarina of Time might just be one of the most overrated games of all time, but by god if I didn't love almost every minute I spent with this game.

    Ocarina of Time is the 4th entry in the long running Legend of Zelda series and if you play any Zelda game in your lifetime, it should probably be this one. I must admit this isn't my favourite Zelda game, but it's certainly up there. For what it's worth, it is my favourite N64 game, which doesn't mean much when I've only played 3 N64 games I'm aware.

    for 1998, OoT is remarkably impressive, it hasn't aged great visually, but for the most part it still plays flawlessly. Link feels almost entirely free of the jank that plagued Mario 64 and other N64 games I haven't played because the only other one is Banjo and that also plays great.

    The story is appropriately the most complex thus far, it's a three-dimensional story if you will... Sorry. You are Link, or whatever you wanna name him, I always just call him Link, and you live in the Kokiri Forest among the -you guessed it- Kokiri, one morning being told by a magical blue ball called a fairy named Navi to go to the Deku tree. Link, with sword and shield in hand, ventures forth to find the Deku tree dying, upon proving himself Link is given a mission and sets off with Navi as his new companion to find Zelda, get engaged to a fish, become bro's with some rock people and listen to an owl explain sh*t 3 times over because you keep accidentally pressing "yes" instead of "no" when he asks you if you want him to repeat himself. Where the "Ocarina of time" comes in to... Ocarina of Time, is about halfway through the game where Ganondorf steals Zelda and she throws you said titular instrument and you set off to the Temple of Time to take up the famous Master Sword , sending Link forward in time and also giving him gauntlets, pants and earrings thanks... Time? did Rauru do that? Did Fi? Anyway there you meet Rauru, the first of seven Sages with which you are tasked with finding throughout Hyrule, so you go to Lon Lon Ranch because f*ck traversing Hyrule on foot, you get Epona and you begin the real adventure.

    Ocarina is not the best Zelda, but the story, music and characters really come together in such a way that it's hard to not love this game, it really feels like an adventure you're embarking on. It pulls a bit of a Final Fantasy 6 and has the villain win halfway through, but this time you have to prevent it in the future rather than just kill the villain and live in the now ruined world.

    As the title would suggest, Ocarina has a heavy focus on music, you play music to call Epona, you play music to change the weather, you play music to advance the story, this game loves music, and it's all very good, I find myself humming Saria's Song to this day. This game also handles its musical instrument far better than its successors, whereas Wind Waker forces you to stop in your tracks and tediously play the song timed perfectly, Ocarina lets you play the song however fast you like as to not halt the gameplay for something relatively arbitrary. One of my few complaints and one that's shared by many is of course the Water Temple, but even that can be remedied by playing the 3D version on the 3ds, which is personally the version I recommend over the N64 version. Another complaint would have to be Navi, I don't hate her as much as many but I find her largely barren of personality, maybe I've just been spoiled by Midna in Twilight Princess but I simply can't go back to Navi anymore, even the King of Red Lions is an improvement, but I guess she isn't as bad as Fi.

    In closing, Ocarina of Time is a great game and absolutely worth your time, it's a fantastic game but contrary to popular belief, no it's not perfect, it has issues and the Water Temple can give you several migraines but it is a good game. Music is great, characters are fun, graphics are... play the 3D version.    … Expand

    Absolute **** masterpiece, just wish they didn't take a 3ds remaster to make the iron and hover boots an item so you can take them on and off with one button, especially because of the water temple, but everything else is great, and it's not just nostalgia, since i actually finished this game for the first time not too much time ago, it's just really fun to play if you like games that makeAbsolute **** masterpiece, just wish they didn't take a 3ds remaster to make the iron and hover boots an item so you can take them on and off with one button, especially because of the water temple, but everything else is great, and it's not just nostalgia, since i actually finished this game for the first time not too much time ago, it's just really fun to play if you like games that make you think and act at the same time, i mean, if you're more into hardcore ass shooters or other games with a huge ammount of pressure like the souls saga, you'll maybe find it way too easy, and it's might not be as mind challenging as other games like portal, but it's still great on its own way, so much that it even inspired a lot of games from it's release till actuality, and the story is easily the best version of the hero's journey in a videogame.

    This is a magic videogame. Maybe, the best videogame in the history. It's fun, long, good story, good difficulty and a fantastic soundtrack. You have to play it. The 3DS version is better.

    That's the best Zelda legend I've ever had.
    It is also a game that I have memories of when I was in elementary school.
    If you try it now, the graphics may feel bad, but once you start the game, even the bad graphics are not strange at all.
    One thing I'm sorry about is why the Metascore score is only 99 points? This game needs to get 100 Metascore points!

    This game seems to be stuck at a 99 when it should be at 100, it was a staple in adventuring, I know people like to think of Mario being the golden child of Nintendo, but to me, Ocarina of Time speaks volumes of fantasy that can't be compared to any other game during it's time!

The atmosphere makes you feel like you are really exploring the land of this world. You don't need to have "complete da gem" as your goal. You really want to go fishing, or make your adventure just a little bit longer. Secrets are well hid, but usually rewarding. Must play this game! It is a masterpiece!

    The player will be drawn into the Zelda fantasy world from the moment the opening sequence bursts onto the screen, and the game won't let go-not even after finishing the quest.
